Understand the customizations in your account
See the impact of a potential change
Clean up technical debt

Manage development and deployment
Free Ebook: NetSuite System Notes vs. Strongpoint Change Logs
System notes and audit logs are critical for troubleshooting configuration issues in NetSuite. But have their shortcomings — as many admins know from experience, it often seems like they provide both too much information, and not enough.
Download our ebook for a look at how Strongpoint's system notes close these gaps.
Strongpoint comes into play just about every single time that I make a decision.

What Can You Do With Documentation?
Six Ways Strongpoint Makes a NetSuite Admin's Job Easier
Discovery: Customization Lists
Understanding how your account is configured is one of the main challenges NetSuite admins face when they're working in a heavily customized instance, starting in a new role or taking over from a team of consultants.
Strongpoint starts by scanning your account and mapping NetSuite fields, records, account settings and more, so you can instantly see how you're set up and how things are connected. Best of all, this record is constantly updated, so it's always accurate.
What Does Strongpoint Document?
| Accounting Settings and Lists | Custom Records and Custom Record Fields | Other Custom Fields (Body, Item, Entity, Column, etc.) |
| Mass Updates | Saved Searches | Unlocked and Unencrypted Script Records |
| Locked Script Records (without dependencies) | Critical Settings and Preferences | Forms |
|
Script Deployments, Libraries |
SCA folder files and all custom SS, SSP and JS files | User Roles, Permissions, and Assignments |
| Workflows | Dependencies |
NetSuite Field Mapping: Entity Relationship Diagrams
Strongpoint treats account documentation like data, and gives you several dynamic tools for working with it. The Entity Relationship Diagram is one our popular configuration management tools for NetSuite Admins — with it, you can perform NetSuite field mapping to see all downstream dependencies on a customization, and know instantly what will be affected if you make a change, and whether that change is safe to make or not.

Account Optimization: Customization Cleanup
Unused customizations are a natural byproduct of NetSuite's exceptional flexibility — and a common occurrence in any mature account. When they build up, however, they make it harder for you to do your job, and can impact user adoption, too.
Strongpoint gives you tools for identifying unused customizations that can be safely deleted right away. Then, it streamlines the investigation and approval processes for more complex deprecations.

Troubleshooting: Change Logs
Strongpoint's change logs are a detailed record of what changed, how it changed and who did it. They're available in a report called, "What Changed" — a highly useful way to troubleshoot issues by homing in on recent development activity.
Normally you'd do this using NetSuite system notes. And system notes can be incredibly useful — but they have their limitations. Watch our webinar: NetSuite System Notes vs. Strongpoint Change Logs for a complete rundown of the differences between Strongpoint change logs and NetSuite system notes
Resource Allocation: Change Management
Strongpoint tells you which changes are simple and which are complex, and lets you build custom change policies based on that risk. Pre-clear everything that's safe and simple, while elevating anything that could have business or technical consequences to the proper authority for review and approval.
With Strongpoint, IT resources are allocated more efficiently and highly skilled NetSuite admins can focus on tasks that require their expertise.
